Hi Stephen

In order to pass parameters to the sequence you need to create a Dictionary (Of String, String). See below:

'Prepare Parameters
Dim params As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
params.Add("Paramter1Name", "Paramter1Value")
params.Add("Paramter2Name2", "Paramter2Value")

'Execute Sequence
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "DataMgmtSequenceName", params)

    Example using your code:

    'Prepare Parameters
Dim params As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
params.Add("FCSEntity", SelectSeedingEntity)

'Execute Sequence
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "ClearTest1Prior", params)

    Thank you Mark,  I implemented those changes and am a little closer to resolving the issue ... I am attaching a screenshot of my DM (with the prompts for E# and S#) as well as the BR coding and the error message.  Any help/thoughts is greatly appreciated!

      First off, your parameter names are wrong, Try this:

      'Prepare Parameters
Dim params As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
params.Add("SelectSeedingEntity", SelectSeedingEntity)
params.Add("FromScenario", FromScenario)
params.Add("ToScenario", ToScenario)

'Execute Sequence
BRApi.Utilities.StartDataMgmtSequence(si, "ClearTest1Prior", params)

      But secondly, what are you trying to achieve? It looks to me like you have a Data Management Sequence that executes a custom calculate function that is just going to execute another Data Management Sequence?

        Thanks!  I can try that change.  In a planning app, I am trying to run in parallel (for the client) 7 years worth of clearing and copying data.   The current process that is in place does each one of the years back to back to back, etc.,  Takes a long time/  The End User, from a Dashboard, is prompted to select the Entity and To/From Scenarios to clear/copy
